broadwell is the biographer of general david petraeus who has admitted she was having an affair with petraeus. broadwell apparently sent some kind of e-mails to jill kelley, either anonymously or otherwise, basically telling her, i know what you are doing. we don't know the contents of those e-mails either. but broadwell possibly viewed jill kelley as a romantic rival. meanwhile, there's an unnamed fbi agent involved in all of this. apparently that kelley had approached and asked for his help in dealing with these anonymous e-mails. this agent also apparently became obsessed with jill kelley and was orderred off the investigation. at one point, he sent shirtless pictures of himself to jill kelley. this thing is sprawling and confu confusing. a lot of possible ini did cessions. defense officials today are denying there was any affair here between general john allen and jill kelley and saying some of the descriptions of these e-mails are mischaracterized. there's still a lot we don't know. >> it this is getting bigger. this is a much bigger story. more will be revealed. thank you very
